Laurie Anderson was on the BBC Radio 6 Music morning show with guest host Tom Ravenscroft, sitting in for Lauren Laverne, to discuss Landfall, her new album with Kronos Quartet, released on Nonesuch Records earlier this year, and All the Things I Lost in the Flood, her new book. Both the album and the book were inspired by Anderson's experience of Hurricane Sandy. You can hear their conversation, as well as the album track "Everything Is Floating," below.

She will be in The Hague, Netherlands, all weekend as the Artist in Focus of the Rewire Festival, which includes a screening of her film Heart of a Dog, an artist talk, and a presentation of the new book.

    Congratulations to composer and pianist Timo Andres on receiving the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Elise L. Stoeger Prize—a $25,000 cash prize, awarded biennially by CMS to recognize significant contributions to the field of chamber music composition. Andres says: “I feel equally challenged and freed to take risks when I write chamber music, and writing it, I’ve learned the most about becoming a better composer and musician. To be recognized in this medium by one of its greatest institutional standard-bearers is a huge and unexpected honor.”

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”
